Seribu Kuntum Teladan dari Ummi
Al-umm dalam bahasa Arab adalah sebuah kata yang sering dimaknai sebagai asal dari segala sesuatu. Ibu, oleh bangsa Arab, dinisbatkan pada kata Al-Umm sebagai simbol bahwa seorang Ibu adalah kawah candradimuka bagi suatu kehidupan. Ibu adalah madrasah, contoh pertama bagi setiap makhluk yang lahir, baik manusia maupun hewan. Ummiku, bernama Ernawati Manimbangi. Namanya mungkin tak begitu dikenal, pun tulisan tentangnya belum pernah diterbitkan. Namun, ada banyak pelajaran hidup yang bisa diambil darinya, ada ribuan hikmah yang bisa dipetik dari goresan penanya. Jejak teladannya bisa saja dilupakan sepeninggalnya, setelah tahun demi tahun terlalui. Melalui buku Seribu Kuntum Teladan dari Ummi ini, aku ingin mengumpulkan kembali serpihan memori tentangnya dari sudut pandangku sebagai anak bungsunya dan menceritakan kembali pada para pembaca. Agar semoga, keteladanannya bisa dipetik dan bermanfaat bagi kehidupan orang banyak. Juga semoga bisa mewakili jiwa-jiwa yang pernah dekat, yang kini memintai rindu padanya.

The Art of Talking with Children
From a Harvard faculty member and oral language specialist, an invaluable guide that gives readers evidence-based tools and techniques to communicate more effectively with children in ways that let them foster relationships with less conflict and more joy and kindness. Science has shown that the best way to help our kids become independent, confident, kind, empathetic, and happy is by talking with them. Yet, so often, parents, educators, and caregivers have trouble communicating with kids. Conversations can feel trivial or strained—or worse, are marked by constant conflict. In The Art of Talking with Children, Rebecca Rolland, a Harvard faculty member, speech pathologist, and mother, arms adults with practical tools to help them have productive and meaningful conversations with children of all ages—whether it’s engaging an obstinate toddler or getting the most monosyllabic adolescent to open up. The Art of Talking with Children shows us how quality communication—or rich talk—can help us build the skills and capacities children need to thrive.

Sufi Institutions
This volume describes the social and practical aspects of Islamic mysticism (Sufism) across centuries and geographical regions. Its authors seek to transcend ethereal, essentialist and “spiritualizing” approaches to Sufism, on the one hand, and purely pragmatic and materialistic explanations of its origins and history, on the other. Covering five topics (Sufism’s economy, social role of Sufis, Sufi spaces, politics, and organization), the volume shows that mystics have been active socio-religious agents who could skillfully adjust to the conditions of their time and place, while also managing to forge an alternative way of living, worshiping and thinking. Basing themselves on the most ...
Story-Telling Techniques in the Arabian Nights
This work comprises a literary comparison of surviving alternative versions of selected narrative-cycles from the Nights. Pinault draws on the published Arabic editions — especially Bulaq, MacNaghten, and the fourteenth-century Galland text recently edited by Mahdi — as well as unpublished Arabic manuscripts from libraries in France and North Africa. The study demonstrates that significantly different versions have survived of some of the most famous tales from the Nights. Pinault notes how individual manuscript redactors employed — and sometimes modified — formulaic phrases and traditional narrative topoi in ways consonant with the themes emphasized in particular versions of a tale. He also examines the redactors' modification of earlier sources — Arabic chronicles and Islamic religious treatises, geographers' accounts and medieval legends — for specific narrative goals. Comparison of the narrative structure of diverse story-collection also sheds new light on the relationship of the embedded subordinate-narrative to the overarching frame-tale. All cited passages from the Nights and other Arabic story- collections have been fully translated into English.
